Just back from SP Puteri Hill Park Jamboree! 45km, and lots of mud, mud and more mud. Provavly no as technical as Kayuh lasak, but very very argonising... Heavy rain before ride, so the entire track was very sticky. All bikes didn't have enough mud clearance and got stuck for some parts..

My casualty:
1) Jammed rd
2) Clogged fd and rd cables
3) Severely damaged(probable worn off) front brakes
4) Malfunctioned back brakes(jammed and oil leaked again!)
5) Loosed grips(both sides!) Will be getting lock-ons..
6) And a lot of worn off bearings...

As in apparel, u know la, a lot of washing to do...


And I think every 1 of 20 riders broke their rd.. One of 6 guys from my group broke his XT and another guy took his Scott 30 carbon with XTR on it's first ride.. Now all scratch. Sakit hati... Another guy suffered major muscle cramp! 3/6 down..What the heck man..

AndyLo,
Holy cow! that's is bad...with mud n chain doesn't mixed well together. it must been h*ll for ya! how many hours you completed the whole thing?

I went to Kajang hash yesterday (28km)..was pretty dry, the trail are in good condition. the only setback was wasted 30-45mins of time finding the right trail to go..casualty only 1 guy fell n had a bad scratch on his legs. bleeding like crazy.

Whoa. Looks like everyone got busy over the weekend!

me0.
nice avid juicy brakes n the dtswiss rims as well...pretty cool! hey, comin weekend we go cycling?

Wah akchang... It seems that lotsa people would get lost or wasted time in these hashes to find the right track to follow...

Yesterday was a surprised that I thought lotsa people would go to the Kajang Hash but at least there were 50 riders in FRIM.. I have not been in FRIM for at least 2-3 weeks and it seems that they have cleared some area... Nice view ...

Had one rider fell off at the snake trail on our finishing ride and he stumbled down at least 10 - 15 feet from his bike... Imagine having at least 10 riders following him behind and all had to jammed our brakes real hard...

I took the picture.. let me see if can upload it later...

Coming weekend i'll be in Penang. Attending the Penang World Music Festival!

mushroom,
around 70-80 ppl went for the hash...there were a few of us tryin to look for te paper but couldn't find it. the junction to turn to the right way the paper was not there, but luckly someone found it. some of the riders totally lost its ways n reported that they end-up in Bangi. they gaved up n call for pickup.

me0,
wah penang arr...can eat char kueh teow!

BANGI? WTH? quite far leh... I have a few friends who register just to get the jerseys only... and some of them end up riding late in FRIM...

Will eat more than char kuey teow!! Thats for sure!

AK, kinda about 4 hours.. Slow and painful ride. Pss..that's how shops make their $. haha!!

Meow, ure coming to Penang? Gimme a call when ure here k.. o16-4679750.

I'll be with my parents unless you can come find me at night. Will let u know where i'm staying

thats all the pix i took lol....

maybe nx sunday going again..

and IF i go,i'll remind myself to take more pix of the track lol...

Tie a cam to your bike. Video it!

Ahh, jsut got my brakes readjusted!!! Feel so nice

dun have a video cam

but my fren's 6233 which can record at 15FPS 640x480 shud do the job

I got one question, is mountain biking a richman's sport?
If not why in the 1st page links to shops, the prices for 1 bike can go up to RM10,000??

i just don't get it...i wanted to get me one for legs and cardio training, and with a price tag like that, the only way i'm gonna do my training is just by jogging in the park....

a descent mtb for normal road cycling can get <1k

those >rm10k are those extreme downhill bikes(well maybe not so extreme )

even mine is just slightly above 1k after all the upgrades and is still slowly increasing lol...

owh?? mtb stands for mountainbike is it?

Owh well, ok...so if were to me myself one mtb below the 1k mark region, what should i look for? The frame? Tyres??

A proton frame would fit right into that description. It all really depends on how you mix and match the parts for the bike. Higher end parts would increase the price while lower end will keep the price down. The bike shops at the front page are the 'big sugar daddy' that really know how to suck every single dollar from your pocket! Lol. I just lost more than RM1k to them for upgrades!! >.< But then again, its better to use the money on something that benefits my health than to waste it on something like cyber cafes or drugs or shit like that!

Try heading to www.bicyclebuysell.com to look for a bargain.
